Kineticist’s take
Holiday giveaways and Stern Spike 3 cabinet design defense amid community quality concerns.
Synopsis
The The Pinball Show discusses holiday giveaways worth $3,500-$4,000, Stern Pinball production schedule and cabinet redesign for Spike 3, and George Gomez's appearance on Kerry Hardy's podcast addressing community concerns about cabinet cost-cutting. Key topics include clarifications on materials (MDF usage since 2018), cabinet construction changes (threaded inserts vs. glue-jointed seams), and quality control improvements.
